“When we began almost eight years ago -- about the same time that streaming technology first developed -- everything was based on delivery of content over IP networks to the desktop. Now almost any type of device can support video delivery.”
“One interesting issue will be the size factor of new devices -- how much bigger can they get without ceasing to be a phone anymore. People want the small form factor but they want a screen big enough to view. So we will see some very innovative form factors that will give you a bigger display in a device that is still manageable as a phone. There are some very exciting products on the drawing board today.”
“The technology is there today to deliver video via IP networks to handheld devices. The challenges lie in developing a business model for content delivery that makes sense economically; the form factor of the handheld device; and the method of delivery.”
